The Challenges Faced by Female School Administrators and the Evaluation of the Mobbing Situations They Experienced
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the difficulties of being a female school administrator and the mobbing behaviours that female administrators are exposed to while working as administrators and their coping strategies with mobbing. The methodology employed is qualitative research, and the study focuses on a group of twenty female school administrators working in Şanlıurfa. The study utilised the criterion sampling method, a form of purposeful sampling, and data was collected using a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. Data analysis was conducted using the descriptive analysis method. The findings indicate that female administrators endured various mobbing behaviours from their superiors, colleagues, teachers, and parents. Female school administrators reported experiencing issues such as social prejudice and gender discrimination. It has been determined that effective communication, professional collaboration, and psychological empowerment strategies are advantageous to cope with mobbing. Female school administrators display hesitancy in undertaking administrative tasks due to their gender-based social role perceptions specific to a patriarchal society. This difficulty is compounded by the challenges that they encounter. Female school principals encourage their female colleagues to recognise their potential and have the confidence to become administrators. It is expected that the research will bring a new perspective to the field of women administrators and contribute to the processes of appointing administrators.
